Cavolo Nero Cabbage



Welcome to my food blog. I hope you will enjoy it here and leave me a comment if you'd like. I will post as much as my schedule allows. Feel free to leave me a recipe too. I am always looking for something new to try.


My newest food I have tried is Cavolo Nero Cabbage aka Black Leaf Kale in Australia and I just love it. It's originally from Tuscany, Italy if my information is correct and part of the Brassica family (kale,cabbage, etc). It has a strong nutty flavor.


I took mine and washed it good and then rolled it up and sliced it into thin strips (chiffonade). I then brought some water in my pan to a boil, to which I added 2 Tbsp. Knorr chicken stock granults and then put in my cabbage. I simmered it for about 20 minutes. I did not cut the core out of the leaves. I then drained it and tasted it. It was fantastic !
